Jen, 'Ja ever think that maybe that engineer is tooting at his girl? An old neighbor of mine many years ago told me her dad would blow for Padonia Road in a certain way that the family knew it was him; they'd be sure to be out in the back yard for him. (He ran for the Northern Central/PRR from 1890's to death in 1940.) The B&O around here used cast concrete whistle posts. I've ridden the Kane Knox & Kinzua, an old B&O branch; they had cast iron whistle posts. But you guessed right; an engineer knows his territory well enough that he doesn't need a W post. I think they mostly serve as a reminder...and especially now with engineers running over so much more railroad.
